Finally, robots you can ride....

If you like your terrain rough and your buddies tough, the Unitree B2-W may be your ideal companion. Chinese company Unitree Robotics delivered a somersaulting humanoid robot earlier this year (use our Search button) but is focusing on its status as "the global high-performance quadrupedal robot industry pioneer". What do you make of this two-minute footage showing the robot being put through its paces? Obviously the potential is immense, and equally obviously, the nature of that potential will vary according to the user. The target market for Unitree's robotic quadrupeds is the general consumer. The B2-W, successor to the Go1 and Go2 'dogs', currently retails at around US$100k - a heftier price tag than Spot the robotic dog produced by Boston Dynamics (owned by South Korea's Hyundai company), but then, there are tariffs in the air these days.
